One person complained of neck pain. She was taken to the hospital. This is the jaw-dropping moment that orlando's tallest rollercoaster came to a dead stop for nearly three hours. 12 passengers on universal studios hollywood rip ride rocket at a standstill, in a vertical position, 17 stories in the air. Their backs to the ground. Not knowing, not understanding why you're in that position, you're going to be a little bit upset.
